My heifer goes to the fence and moo,s all day at my neighbors cow and let one of the cows bump her but dose not ride her what do you look for in a heifer? :?:

Help Support CattleToday:
if you have more than one heifer they will normally try to mount each other when one is in heat...if you only have one, you have a problem. you can look for a temperature rise when she is in heat, but that akes a lot of rear end time on the heifer.... 
Are the days she stands at the fence mooing the same ones that the others will spend hanging around her? If it happens regualry, every x number of days, she's most likely in heat then. How are you planning on breeding her?

I've come across heifers I never could tell when they were in heat, but they got bred. If you don't have a bull or a steer available, it may be very hard to tell.
I've had heifers (one just this past summer) that didn't do the riding thing...but instead bellored their fool heads off and acted kind of agitated. The one from this past summer, I turned with the bull & sure enough...she was in heat. You may want to try breeding her the next time she displays that behavior.
